Our favourite spots

Beachclub The Sunset · Hollum-Ballum beach

The name says it all: the spot to watch the sun set over the North Sea with a drink in hand. A perfect way to end your day on the island.

Eeterij Tante A’n · Hollum

Our favorite spot in Hollum: a cozy meal in a characterful setting, just minutes from the apartments. On a sunny day, the terrace is a lovely spot to sit outside — a nice option in spring and autumn too, whenever the weather allows. Reservations are recommended during high season.
